Life on the other side: meet five people who’ve had an extreme change of heart

Janice was a drug dealer who now works with ex-prisoners, Christian used to be a neo-Nazi and now helps former extremists... Five people who have radically changed their lives reveal what made them switch

My life as a criminal wasn't glamorous. People think of the money, but not what happens after midnight: the police you have to hide from; the family members who won't talk to you; the thieves, robbers and informants on your back.

Living that life taught me how it feels to be on the wrong side of the law, and equipped me with tools to help people escape it, because that's precisely what I did.
